KARMASTARMIRRORMAN Who Never Sold the Other Side of Universe

909


David Stardust I've never fully grasped.
Almost half of his universe I completely love
with heart, brain, body,
while the rest seems boringly standing still, no matter how many
times I listen. So it's probably me who got to change before :-)

Here I view my very favourite Bowie-works
through the Tarot-Archetypes:



1. High Priestess
LIFE ON MARS


2. Moon
WILD-EYED BOY FROM FREECLOUD


3. Chariot
TIME


4. High Priest [Hierophant]
KARMA MAN
(especially BBC-version)


5. Sun
STARMAN


6. Devil
LADY GRINNING SOUL [Living End]


7. Magician
THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD


8. Strength
IN THE HEAT OF THE MORNING


9. Wheel of Fortune
LOVE YOU TILL TUESDAY
[Well, I might stretch it till Wednesday...]


10. Star
FILL YOUR HEART [With Love Today]

11. Lovers

and/or KOOKS

12. Emperor

13. Tower [Destruction]

14. Judgement

15. Justice
LUCY CAN'T DANCE

16. Empress

19. Death

20. Hermit

21. Temperance

My numbers values the songs
not the cards (which have their own numbers),
and for the FOOL (outside everyone including everyone)
this bonus tracks:


0. Fool
THE WIDTH OF A CIRCLE
[Behind a Tree /the Monster was Me]


00. Fool II
V-2 SCHNEIDER

And so my very favourite (so far) compositions of Peter Hammill. He's a kind of cousin of Bowie in history of music, sings and plays most known together with his band Van Der Graaf Generator, and sometimes on solo albums. Captured in the same process (but running backwards):
